Thanks Richard,

NOT is "cold press" I presume (they list "rough", "hot press" and "NOT"
in the reseller's site)... I plan to purchase the 140lb/300gsm version.

What can you say about the longevity of cyanotype on that paper? Is
Fabriano Artistico calcium carbonate buffered (no good for Cyanotype -
isn't it)? Is there a non buffered with no optical brighteners and
internally sized paper around?

Regards,
Loris.
